The 6 deaths they admitted to were also non-combat logistics workers in a random outpost in Kuwait. The US still has not yet admitted to even a single combat death of their active combat troops stationed at military bases. It's obviously complete bullshit

The way I see this unfolding: they try and hide as many facts as possible, convince a substantial amount of the population that we’re winning. Then surprise! We actually lost. Then they find some minority group to blame as the only possibility in their mind was that someone backstabbed us.

They're not doing well with the public on this one
